A young man is confused by his father’s confessions, which contain painful sexual details. A woman after a miscarriage mourns the unborn child. Another woman is choking with anger at a friend who is trying to take her husband away.
These and many other people wrote about their troubles Cheryl Strayed on TheRumpus, where she wrote a column under the pseudonym «Honey». Cheryl Strayed is a writer, not a psychologist. She talks about herself in much more detail and more frankly than is customary among psychologists. And he even gives advice, which is not at all accepted by psychologists. But her extreme personal honesty, combined with deep compassion, do their job — they give strength. So that we can see that we are more than all our sorrows. And that our personality is more important and deeper than current circumstances.
